In Cebu Mactan Members Center, Inc. vs. Tsukahara (G.R. No. 159624, July 17, 2009), the Supreme Court held that a company may act as a legal entity through its board of directors, which exercises almost all of the company`s powers, sets all corporate policies, and is responsible for effective management. He added that the general rule is that in the absence of a proxy from the board of directors, no one, not even its officers, can effectively bind a company. In addition, a single officer cannot exercise the authority of the corporation over the corporation without the authority of the board of directors (Philippine Numismatic Ad Antiquarian Society vs. Aquino, G.R. No. 206617, January 30, 2017). Article 22 of the revised Companies Code expressly stipulates that the board of directors or the board of directors exercises corporate powers, directs all affairs and controls all assets of the company.

Therefore, a resolution of the board of directors is a formal document that serves as evidence of the actions and matters taken by the directors of the corporation at the duly held meeting.
